Where have CAL FAs been given major pay cuts? Where have their hours been capped? Where is it said that CAL FAs are now doing the rotating reserve thing? Where has ONE THING CHANGED TODAY THAT WASN'T IN PLACE YESTERDAY?
The contracts are in place and they will stay in place while a new contract is negotiated for the combined FA group. The AFA will do well to actually listen to ALL of their members. Even some of their own voted for the IAM because they liked the idea of flexible flying w/ no caps as an example. The AFA is going to have to earn the trust of a lot of FAs and they won't just be able to say this is our contract and work rules that we are going to use so all we are going for are pay raises.
Why is it that I run into people who believe voting for one union or the other mean the other group was going to have the other's contract imposed on them? All it was was a union representational vote not a CBA ratification vote.
